The cloud heart that appears on the cover is an actual cloud. The photo was taken on June 24, 2012 by Rita Berger (In loving memory of Wesley). When Rita posted the photo on-line she included this statement: "9 months ago today, my baby passed away. When I woke up this morning, this is the first thing I saw. ♥"

We are honored to have her photograph on the cover of this book.

Gloria Boysal is a long-time teacher and mentor of adults and children. Her primary desire is to be an instrument for God.

"Deep in prayer I began seeing pictures unfold, much like watching a movie on a TV screen. There were times I heard and felt the "movie in my mind." I came to realize these "picture movies" were stories, prayers or poems. Thus began my life as a writer."

Gloria lives with her husband, Mehmet, on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Julia forges ahead with head-strong control and vowing to never look back; she turns toward the long journey ... the journey of another life.

As she weaves the fibrous web of her tightly-held secret, Julia 'wills,' at any or all cost, to live each day in the shadow of her well-kept lie.

Although by the light of day Julia's life takes on the air of happiness and success, by night when all is quiet, her past flies in the darkness and robs her slippery peace.

A piercing razor-sharp pain in her chest wakes her. Hand to chest she sits up and begins rocking. As the past engraves itself into her present, Julia thrusts a pillow to her face.

And screams.

She understands the life-saving remedy is something she cannot afford to give, the truth.

There was once a conniving S.O.B. who would steal the shirt off of his best friend's back. So when the opportunity arose to swindle a rich widow, he, like a spider spinning its web, spun a whopper of a lie around the widow. So tight was the web of lies she couldn't begin to unscramble the webbed maze. With the lies set in stone, the conniver makes off with her fortune of jewels, merely to find them taken from him.
